Snells Limbs & Braces Of Shreveport, LLC

Snells Limbs & Braces Of Shreveport, LLC, doing business as Snell's Limbs And Braces Of Shreveport, manufactures and delivers customized prosthetic limbs, orthotic braces, and related medical devices to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a full-and-open prime contractor, competing exclusively without set-aside designation. The Shreveport, Louisiana-based for-profit limited liability company operates across NAICS 622110 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and PSC 6515 (Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies), with a footprint anchored entirely to VA regional networks and a single federal customer base.

Customer concentration is absolute. The VA Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (VISN 16), the regional health system serving the southeastern United States, accounts for 303 awards valued at $5.4 million combined potential value—representing 25% of the vendor's total award count and 66% of combined potential value across all sources. Secondary VA customers are negligible: VISN 17 (Texas and Oklahoma) holds seven awards at $147 thousand, VISN 19 (Tennessee and nearby) holds one award at $15 thousand, and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Correctional Complex Pollock holds two awards at $13 thousand total. The vendor has served only four distinct federal customer agencies over the source period. Coverage of the top four customers by potential value is 68% of the combined total.

Snells Limbs & Braces competes exclusively through VA purchase orders—all 1,211 awards in the source data are full-and-open firm-fixed-price purchase orders. Two IDCs structure the recurring task-order flow: Indefinite Delivery Contract VA25613D0265 (101 task orders, $903 thousand combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract VA256P0286 (22 task orders, $415 thousand combined potential value). Individual order values range from approximately $10 thousand to $68 thousand, with performance periods typically spanning four to six months. Delivered products include molded socket prosthetics, below-knee and above-knee prostheses, endoskeletal components, surgical implants, stair lifts, and related prosthetic braces. Work is performed in Shreveport, Louisiana, and subordinate performance locations in Houston, Texas and Alexandria, Louisiana, corresponding to VA medical facilities in VISN 16 and VISN 17 service areas.

Activity has remained flat over the past five years—23 awards in 2022, declining to 16 in 2023, then recovering to 19 in both 2024 and 2025, with only one award recorded in the first quarter of 2026. The combined potential value across all 1,211 awards totals $8.2 million, with $6.9 million obligated (84% realization rate). Recompete exposure is minimal: only one award with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carries $19 thousand in potential value. The vendor holds no subcontracts, IDVs, GWACs, or GSA Schedules; all work is prime-contractor delivery under direct VA purchase orders. The source records no minority ownership designation, 8(a) status, HUBZone certification, SDVOSB standing, WOSB status, or other SBA set-aside posture—Snells Limbs & Braces competes as a standard for-profit manufacturer in full-and-open procurement. The vendor has maintained a continuous federal relationship with the VA since its 2004 entry into the System for Award Management.
